Prince Charming
Album - 2 novembre 1981 - Debaser id 98071

There's a gang in every town
I say that the rules be turned around
listen here from one who knows
be fearless just like the Scorpios

pretty, look young be fearless
like the Scorpion
pretty, look young be fearless
like the Scorpion
the Scorpion
the Scorpion

black's the colour watch the claws
with nails as sharp as Diana Dors
watching us is stopping you
from cruising Ugly Avenue



pretty, look young be fearless
like the Scorpion
pretty, look young be fearless
like the Scorpion
the Scorpion
the Scorpion

and if by chance you cling to hate
just rest assured it's your mistake

hold up your head, you know I'm right
the street's the place, tonight's the night
the night
the night look pretty, look young be fearless like the Scorpion
the night look pretty have fun, don't listen when you're told there's none...

Don't you ever, don't you ever
Stop being dandy, showing me you're handsome
Don't you ever, don't you ever
Stop being dandy, showing me you're handsome

Chorus:
Prince Charming
Prince Charming
Ridicule is nothing to be scared of
Don't you ever, don't you ever
Stop being dandy, showing me you're handsome

Don't you ever, don't you ever
Lower yourself, forgetting all your standards
Don't you ever, don't you ever
Lower yourself, forgetting all your standards

Chorus

Silk or leather or a feather
Respect yourself and all of those around you
Silk or leather or a feather
Respect yourself and all of those around you

Chorus

Don't you ever, don't you ever
Lower yourself, forgetting all your standards
Don't you ever, don't you ever
Lower yourself, forgetting all your standards

Prince Charming (2x)
Ridicule is nothing to be scared of
Prince Charming (2x)
Ridicule is nothing to be scared of

Stand and Deliver!

I'm the Dandy Highwayman
You're too scared to mention
I spend my cash
on looking flash
and grabbing your attention
The Devil take your stereo
your record collection
the way you look you'll qualify for next years old age pension

(Chorus)
Stand and deliver
your money or your life
HWOAH!
try to use a mirror
not a bullet or a knife
HWOAH!

I'm the Dandy Highwayman
so sick of easy fashion
the clumsy boots, peekaboo roots
that people think so dashing
so what's the point of robbery when nothing is worth taking?
it's kind of tough to tell a scruff the big mistake he's making

(chorus)

Stand and deliver
your money or your life
HWOAH!
try to use a mirror
not a bullet or a knife
HWOAH!
and even though you fool your soul your conscience will be mine
all mine

We're the Dandy Highwaymen
So tired of excuses
of deep meaning philosophies
where only showbiz loses
We're the Dandy Highwaymen
and here's our invitation
throw your safety overboard and join our insect nation!

(chorus)
Stand and deliver
your money or your life
HWOAH!
try to use a mirror
not a bullet or a knife
HWOAH!
and even though you fool your soul your conscience will be mine
all mine

qua qua
da diddly qua qua
da diddly qua qua
da diddly qua qua

continue to fade out......

Rap up!
Rap it up!

Put some wax on the trax and slide on outta here
Hane hane hane hane hane

Hatchets in the corner ears to the ground
Improve to the groove get down to the sound
Buttons and bows and bleu blanc rouge
All things lively must be used
Liberté, egalité, au jourd'hui c'est très très très
Voici l'opportunité nous incroyables

I got the moves they got the grooves
Summoned the Gods and they all approved
Bad vibes akimbo on the shelf
Bit of a rap thing going for myself
This gold on the teeth's no sense at all
It only matters when it's on the wall

I'm standing here with my four men
Let's start that rapping thing again:

Marco, Merrick, Terry Lee, Gary Tibbs and yours truly
In the naughty North and in the sexy South
We're all singing I have the mouth
In the naughty North and in the sexy South
We're all singing I have the mouth
I have the mouth

So tired of anarchists looking at me
Don't need their credibility
"Destroy," they say, "Defy! Condemn!"
As long as you don't destroy them
With twenty years of drugs and drink
I thought the time had come to think
About standing up and saying that
It's tragedy and such old hat

I'm standing here with my four men
Let's start that rapping thing again:

(I got) Marco, Merrick, Terry Lee, Gary Tibbs and yours truly
In the naughty North and in the sexy South
We're all singing I have the mouth
In the naughty North and in the sexy South
We're all singing I have the mouth
I have the mouth

These happy feet are all we need
Summoned the Gods and they all agreed
These feet won't stop they're in such a hurry
I knock it on the head and I go for a curry
Staying sober can be neat
Get drunk on these here happy feet
Keep on trying to pin me down
"Why a title for your sound?"
I'm standing here with my four men
Let's do this rapping thing again:

I got Marco, Merrick, Terry Lee, Gary Tibbs and yours truly
In the naughty North and in the sexy South
We're all singing I have the mouth...

In the naughty North and in the sexy South
We're all singing I have the mouth... (repeat until:)

In the naughty North and in the sexy South
We're all singing
And I have the mouth
And you have the mouth
And they got the mouth

London town 1730
women drunk, children dirty
they'd seen the pictures from afar
down in Gin Lane
over the bar
